Award-winning journalist and broadcaster Clayton Sandell joins the show to discuss the first two episodes of The Bad Batch!

Known for his work on shows like Good Morning America, World News Tonight and Nightline, and for his long stint as ABC's resident Star Wars fan, Clayton joins us to answer some burning questions about the show, including: 

  • Who – or what – is Omega? 
  • Is Crosshair a villain or a victim? 
  • How do this show's themes resonate with Dave Filoni's other Star Wars work? 
  • Does it matter if everything doesn't 'count' in continuity? 
  • Why do kids shows need kid characters? 
  • Which character do we want to see next?
